Yes, you do need the Yodl package (binary plus other files, so it's not
trivial) if you want to get all the way yourself.

Sorry I was unclear --- the Doc package comes from the source *site*, not
within the source distribution.  So latest (a little out of date but should
be absolutely fine for your needs) is at

https://www.zsh.org/pub/zsh-5.8-doc.tar.xz

BTW as you were asking about other sources of help offlist, but this is more
widely useful:  there is an active chat group that recently moved servers, though I don't
use it myself.  This should definitely go in the FAQ.  I think the following is up to date
(despite the misleading date associated with the page, you'll see the message has been
recently updated):
